Thanks Andy,
ЭМ-6 is likely to be better than em-6 as it is in Russian cyrillic characters. I use both. An issue with using the Russian though is that my Russian is not up to general reading, just some words and technical terms, so when these spam boxes come up on Russian sites I have to be very careful as I don't know what they mean, and you know how insistant they can sometimes be. This makes searching very slow. Some Russian sites are very good though, but they are as general as ours so niche topics are hard to find. I am familiar with Radiomuseum. I learnt much of my early details of Russian rod tubes there. I will have another search though. It is easy to miss a link. Similarly with the VRAT site of which I am also familiar. I have not seen the other sites you mention though. I will have a good look.
I do try to keep notes, and have a folder full of rough notes and circuits. Usually a completed project gets a full writeup (like my Pantry Tx), but I jump here there and everywhere so things do get missed (and when I get to them it takes ages to reverse engineer the circuit LOL). I have a hardback folder in which I keep spec sheets plus key circuits for the Russian valves I have as well as seperate folders with downloaded information for both Russian valves and electrometers in general on my laptop. I tend to be a magpie so have probably got more info than is on any one place elsewhere (at least as far as I have found) on these specific subjects. It's the little things that I know will be somewhere elsewhere though. Like working circuits / schematics, as well as first hand experience using them.
Thanks for the help
Tracy
